1This terrific object seemed to recall the whole herd from their stationary fright. First, the whales forming the margin
2of our lake began to crowd a little, and tumble against each other, as if lifted by half spent billows from afar; then
3the lake itself began faintly to heave and swell; the submarine bridal-chambers and nurseries vanished; in more and more
4contracting orbits the whales in the more central circles began to swim in thickening clusters. Yes, the long calm was
5departing. A low advancing hum was soon heard; and then like to the tumultuous masses of block-ice when the great river
6Hudson breaks up in Spring, the entire host of whales came tumbling upon their inner centre, as if to pile themselves up
7in one common mountain. Instantly Starbuck and Queequeg changed places; Starbuck taking the stern. "Oars! Oars!" he
8intensely whispered, seizing the helm--"gripe your oars, and clutch your souls, now! My God, men, stand by! Shove him
9off, you Queequeg--the whale there!--prick him!--hit him! Stand up--stand up, and stay so! Spring, men--pull, men; never
10mind their backs--scrape them!--scrape away!" The boat was now all but jammed between two vast black bulks, leaving a
11narrow Dardanelles between their long lengths. But by desperate endeavor we at last shot into a temporary opening; then
12giving way rapidly, and at the same time earnestly watching for another outlet. After many similar hair-breadth escapes,
13we at last swiftly glided into what had just been one of the outer circles, but now crossed by random whales, all
14violently making for one centre. This lucky salvation was cheaply purchased by the loss of Queequeg's hat, who, while
15standing in the bows to prick the fugitive whales, had his hat taken clean from his head by the air-eddy made by the
16sudden tossing of a pair of broad flukes close by. Riotous and disordered as the universal commotion now was, it soon
17resolved itself into what seemed a systematic movement; for having clumped together at last in one dense body, they then
18renewed their onward flight with augmented fleetness. Further pursuit was useless; but the boats still lingered in their
19wake to pick up what drugged whales might be dropped astern, and likewise to secure one which Flask had killed and
20waifed. The waif is a pennoned pole, two or three of which are carried by every boat; and which, when additional game is
21at hand, are inserted upright into the floating body of a dead whale, both to mark its place on the sea, and also as
22token of prior possession, should the boats of any other ship draw near. The result of this lowering was somewhat
23illustrative of that sagacious saying in the Fishery,--the more whales the less fish. Of all the drugged whales only one
24was captured. The rest contrived to escape for the time, but only to be taken, as will hereafter be seen, by some other
25craft than the Pequod.
